London boasts the best restaurant in Europe according to holidaymakers, but America dominates when it comes to the top eateries in the world.

The U.S. boasted an astounding five restaurants in the top ten as voted for by tourists for TripAdvisor’s 2012 Travellers’ Choice Awards.

Le Gavroche, London

Best In Europe: Michel Roux Jr's La Gavroche restaurant in Mayfair

While restaurants in New York City, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Chicago were all voted in the top four, Michel Roux Jr’s Mayfair restaurant, Le Gavroche, came in fifth place as the first non-US entry on the list.

When it comes to European eateries, London put its neighbours on the Continent to shame with three additional restaurants in the top ten, making it even more popular than dining in Paris.

It seems Londoners are more spoilt for choice than ever before with Chez Bruce, Barrafina and La Trompette in seventh, ninth and tenth places.

Le Bernardin, New York

Best in the world: Le Bernardin restaurant in New York

Ironically Barrafina offers Spanish dishes, while Le Gavroche, La Trompette, and Chez Bruce are all French cuisine, so it seems you really can discover that little bit of Paris right on your doorstep.

'London is visited by millions of tourists every year, but in the past it has sometimes been derided for its culinary offerings,' said Emma Shaw, TripAdvisor spokesperson.

'But now millions of TripAdvisor users have spoken, proving that London’s restaurants are not only world-class, but enjoyed by those that really matter â€" diners.'

In the world rankings, the USA is definitely the hostess with the mostest, with restaurants across the states in the top four.

Le Bernardin, in New York City, Gary Danko, in San Francisco, Le Cirque, in Las Vegas and Girl the Goat, in Chicago all took top billing.

Though it seems French not American is our favourite cuisine with three French serving diners in the top five including French seafood restaurant Le Bernardin.

The top ten European restaurants:

1. Le Gavroche, London
2. La Pergola, Rome
3. Ciya Sofrasi, Istanbul
4. Guy Savoy, Paris
5. El Club Allard, Madrid
6. Tantris, Munich
